IgA   IM. 1.1.    1.50  g/l  norm- 0.7-4

 

Transglutaminase Ab ( IgA )  IM.2.6.1  0.3 U/ml  <7.0 ( borderline : 7-10, positive: >10)

 

Gliadin Ab ( deamidated, IgG ) IM.4.8.3 

0.7  U/ml   <7.0 ( <7  borderline: 7-10, positive: >10 )

 

P.S. 

But I didn’t eat gluten for 3 months and when I went to the doctor, I told him about this, he warned me that I should start eating gluten again for 20 days, but I couldn’t stand it that long. I was only able to hold out for 10 days and on the 10th day, I did these tests.

Welcome to the forum, @Nora Sofian!

None of the test results you listed are positive and you are not IGA deficient. Unfortunately, being gluten free for so long and then returning to gluten consumption for only 10 days may have rendered the testing invalid.

Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" after three months of being gluten free are the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of bread) for at least two weeks.

But let me ask you, did your symptoms improve while off of gluten for three months? What are your symptoms when on gluten? Have you considered the possibility that you might not have celiac disease but NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity)? They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel and so there is not test for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

My symptoms were: bloating either diarrhea or constipation heaviness in my stomach after eating, even if I haven't eaten much redness of the skin under the eyes and in the corners of the lips irritation, aggression, insomnia, joint pain, numbness of hands greasy stool swelling under the eyes (fluid stagnation in the body) As soon as I eliminated gluten, after 2 days I felt an improvement, and over time all these symptoms went away. But when I started eating gluten again for tests, my diarrhea did not stop, almost all the symptoms returned, now I don’t eat gluten again, but the redness on my face still hasn’t completely gone away.

Try taking collagen to repair your intestines. There was a children's doctor back in 1970s who gave B complex injection to heal lining. Also selenium helps with inflammation. A liquid B complex by quantum nutrition can act like a shot

Thanks for advice @JB007 I’ll read about it.

      I have read GliadinX is helpful have you taken that when concerned of cross contamination eating out etc? I hope the 4 weeks I gluten myself for this test I can handle my daily lifestyle without major issues.

      very interesting that FDA hasnt looked into this study to confirm it helps.

      Thank you for your response. I had read that they are more careful in the UK and the wait staff are much more aware.  I always bring gluten-free snacks with me when I travel even here in the US. Airports are  a nightmare to find anything that is gluten-free to eat. If you are lucky enough to find a Chick-fil-A in the airport the fries(chips) are a safe bet as they are fried in a fryer that is dedicated. Five Guys is also a pretty safe bet. While the only thing they fry is their fries, they also are very careful when cooking their burgers and will change gloves, and put them on a clean grill. Thanks again for all the info. All I don't want is to get sick on a much anticipated trip from food that has gluten in it.

      Thank you Knitty kitty, no I haven't thought about that. I just assumed that because my biopsy showed no lymphocytosis, celiacs was off the table.  Is it possible to have no lymphocytosis and still have celiacs?

      @jamiet06, Have you thought about getting a genetic test done?  You have to have genes for Celiac Disease to develop.  If you don't have any of the commonly known Celiac genes, you can look for another diagnosis.  Genes don't change.  You don't have to do a gluten challenge to test for genetic markers of Celiac Disease.
